Don't Answer...

Last Sunday night at Kendall's ward prayer I learned a valuable lesson. Not during the spiritual thought, not during the prayer, but following the festivities. The moment we said Amen I was approached by a nice looking dude who asked me whether or not i was new to the ward. When i told him that i was here for a girl from the ward he asked me the epic question, "What are you doing this summer?"

If you are ever asked this question don't answer it. I made the fatal mistake of saying I am staying in school. I knew i was in trouble when his next question was, "So do you have a job lined up, and how would you like to make more than $30,000 this summer?"

Summer sales is a parasite that has infested the hearts of many BYU students. It manifests itself in annoying conversations, preoccupation with expensive cars, and a pushy demeanor. People with the the bug will approach you at any time on campus, in the library, in class, and even spark up an awkward conversation at the the dreaded "next urinal over." Unfortunately for the victims, their lives end in loneliness, terrible spending habits, pre-mature balding, and imminent death.
